For the two weeks I'm taking off before starting the new gig, I'll be browsing styleforum all day rather than doing the usual vacation thing of making sure I check styleforum, my voicemail and email at least once per day.

I'm already starting to savor prospectively the fact that in about a month I'll be enjoying that rare sense of freedom that comes with between being between jobs (it's been 14 years since my last job change). Since I'll be moving out of private practice, I'm handing off all of my existing professional responsibilities rather than just packing them up and carrying them to another shop. For the two weeks I'm taking off before starting the new gig, I'll be footloose and fancy free rather than doing the usual vacation thing of making sure I check my voicemail and email at least once per day.
